Los Angeles Students to Be Taught That Arizona Immigration Law Is Un-American
This is a great idea. http://www.foxnews.com/us/2010/06/02/la-school-district-teaches-az-law-is-un-american/
The Los Angeles Unified School District school board wants all public school students in the city to be taught that Arizona's new immigration law is un-American.

The school board president made the announcement Tuesday night after the district's Board of Education passed a resolution to oppose the controversial law, which gives law enforcement officials in Arizona the power to question and detain people they suspect are in the U.S. illegally when they are stopped in relation to a crime or infraction.

3. Where would i go to definitively learn every thing that is Amerian
would hate to make a faux pas. In the absence of such a document, how about sticking to Math, Science, History and Creative arts?

5. Umm. Civics used to be a mandatory course...
Sadly, it appears few have had any education in this area for decades.

Sorry, but if you want to be an apologist for this racist Arizona law, as it appears, then take it elsewhere.

Glad to see some state's tax dollars are properly working in the education system.
